Avengers: Endgame

Before
Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck's scale, which then triggers the Doidge proposition. Can we agree on that? In layman's terms, it means, you are not coming home.

Paul Rudd (Scott Lang): I did.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): No, you accidentally survived. It's an billion-in-one cosmic fluke. Now you want to pull out... what you call it?

Paul Rudd (Scott Lang): A time heist.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): Yeah, a time heist. Of course. Why didn't I think of this before? Oh, because it's laughable, 'cos it's pipe dream.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): The stones are in the past. We could go back, we could get them. - Steve Rogers spoke this line, not Tony Stark

Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff): We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): Or screw up worse than he already has, right.

Chris Evans (Steve Rogers): I don't believe we would.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): Got to say that sometimes you miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help, if there is no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute the said, time heist. I believe the most likely outcome would be our collective demise.

Paul Rudd (Scott Lang): Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. I mean, no talking to our past-selves, no betting on sporting events...

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): I'm going to stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on, 'back to future?' - It's "Back To The Future" not "back to future"

Paul Rudd (Scott Lang): No.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): Good, you got me worried there. 'cos that would be horse shit. That's not how Quantum Physics works.

Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff): Tony, we have to take a stand.

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): We did stand and yet here we are.

Paul Rudd (Scott Lang): I know you got a lot on the line. Your wife, your daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of people dead and now, now... we have a chance to bring her back, bring everyone back and you're telling me... - The above bolded statement should read, "A lot of people did" not "dead"

Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark): ...leave it. I can't.

It is not "Back To The Future"...It is 'Back to the Future'....
His title was wrong, but his single quotation marks was correct.
Your title was fully correct but used caps on To and The, instead of to and the, and the incorrect double quotation marks instead of the single quotation marks.



That is all I can give you as far as input is concerned.

The rest will need to be addressed by staff.

Thanks,

Probably not related to the issue here, but I have to wonder: is that a memorable quote or is it half the script? And looking at the rest of the quotes page I feel like I've read the whole script for the movie!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought quotes were supposed to be kept very short, ideally a single line or a couple of lines at most. Has the policy changed since I last checked it?

In all my time here, it's never been restricted. Only place I've seen anything resembling that is on TV.com.

When I made that ST Voyager contribution, there was a Quote exchange that was about four times longer than this example here!!!

Yes, I realise that many other long quotes have also been accepted and this is far from the 'worst' example - I didn't intend to pick on this one specifically, just that this thread reminded me of the issue.

It turns out that the guide is far more vague on the subject than I remember - I thought it explicitly said "keep it short" but actually it just implies that with short examples. But still I wonder how these very long sections of dialogue qualify as memorable quotes. Does anyone other than superfans actually repeat these quotes in conversation?

Hi Phil G -

As mentioned in our guide, our preference is that Quotes be brief exchanges between characters, though we are flexible and currently don't have a limitation.
